Super Chunky Knit Infinity Scarf

I got these lovely balls of yarn from We are Knitters (WAK) at the end of the year when I first opened my Handmade by Phanessa Etsy shop and I just got so caught up and busy with pattern writing, it got put on the back burner. The color Bordeaux is amazingly rich and the yarn is so soft!

I originally started a blanket and then thought "Who am I kidding?" A scarf or something smaller would be better (for me) and faster. I had the idea of using only half of what I got to make the scarf & the other half will be part of my giveaway on Instagram.

When I first signed up for Instagram strictly dedicated to my handmade items, I never thought I would get where I am now. 1 year later and 17k followers. I hit 1k in August and then it sort of spiraled out of control (in a good way). It has been amazing and I absolutely love doing these giveaways too. I wanted to create something simple and beautiful. Personally I'm a circular needle kind of gal but since WAK uses straight needles, I decided to make a chunky scarf using the moss stitch. In the end, I did switch to circular needles because it was much more easier on my wrist and hands.

This scarf is so beautiful! I'm a new knitter, found your site through ravelry and am really enjoying checking our your work and patterns. How "sheddy" did you find The Wool yarn compared to other brands? I love the way super chunky single-ply looks when it's knit up, but I'm worried about the shedding.

Hi Tina, thanks for stopping by! I Honestly don't know. I gave this away as a giveaway prize on Instagram after making it (@designsbyphanessa) and so I don't know how much it sheds (if it does). It was really nice to work with though!
